Great hotel, beautiful ocean view. Food was delicious. Great Customer Services. Only thing we didn't like was the unpaved road from the main street to the hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Overall the view is delightful, attention needs to improve. The staff seems tired, communication also has to improve.
My 7 y/o son and I recently stayed at " The Reef" Hotel for 10 nights. We really enjoyed our stay. The pool and view were really fun and amazing. The hotel was very family friendly, the food and service were really great. I would recommend staying there.
Everything was great, the view was amazing, the food was delicious and the service was great. The only thing the hotel needs to do is fix the road towards the entrance.

Rooms need updating. Not much to do near hotel. No hot water. Free breakfast was decent.
My stay was great, the staff were very friendy
The room i would say it needs some updates, maybe photos, the bathroom do need more cleaning. But overall i can see myself coming back.
I like how close this place is to El Tunco beach, you can ho walking (25 min) or driving (5 min). Breakfasts was included and staff was very attentive.

I love the location of the hotel. It’s very close to El Tunco and right on the beach. The view from the pool is unbeatable.
Everything was perfect. Room service was offered every time, just that we weren't able to customize our breakfast...although Everything else was perfect. Staff from restaurant were fast and acurate & the girl from the front that was pregnant help us a lot
A wondefrul ocean front property.
Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Beatiful ocean view at reasonable price locayed a short walk from El Tunco. I love that is is not trying to be overly modern and fancy and feels like real surf stay.
Great view, great service, balcony room a must. One thing : The road getting into the property is rough. Uber was not happy getting into it. Oh, and please add mimosas on the menu( nice to have in the mornings)
We would defenitely recommend and would go back! Viva El salvador! Safety is on point!
The Hotel is small, but pretty tidy. The room size was a bit smaller than expected. But the hotel is nice. The staff is really nice and helpful. I liked the pool and they have a nice food menu. The Bar staff was excellent and they make good drinks. Prices are also affordable. The breakfast was good and they have good fokd choices. I would definitely stay there again.
Had an amazing time in El Salvador! 🌴 We stayed at The Reef on the Water and the staff was wonderful — very attentive and quick with food and drinks. The only downside is that you can’t bring any outside food or drinks to your room, and since the bar closes at 9pm it can be a little inconvenient. Other than that, everything was perfect and I’d definitely go back!
The views were stunning, the pool was awesome. I loved that it was a small hotel with only a few rooms. I would defi itely come back and highly recommend to others
